"I went to Albany Fish bar today with my daughter, the service was appalling! The one guy took my order and his colleague was having an argument/discussion with him about a transaction he had just done and how he didn 't know how to use the contactless machine. I had said my order but my order was not getting any attention, I don 't think he even acknowledged it! So another guy 5 minutes later rudely said what 's your order? I said I 've been served already, he again said yes what is it, I retold my order. The hold up in the shop was being taken out on me, it wasn 't my faulr, but it gets worse! I asked for 2 large fish and chips in takeaway boxes originally, so the guy serving me began wrapping them up, I said I asked for them to be in boxes not wrapped. This is where the four of the workers all started to ganging up on me and told me I hadn 't asked for boxes. I said I did because we always get this, however the guy giving me the most hassle was too busy sorting out his colleagues previous transaction problem!!! Then another guy said these boxes are expensive we can 't just give them out. I said are you serious? I am happy to pay for it. They went on to say yes love next time ask for a box etc etc. By now I said, stuff your food I 'll go elsewhere. I went to The Wellfield, better fish and chips and service was excellent! NOTE TO OWNER; invest in better respectful workers and perhaps get your workers to go on some training in customer service. Maybe they might learn a thing or two about respecting women along the way too! Needless to say I won 't be going there again! The men are patronising, rude and condescending. Off putting before you even get your food is the people that serve you."

"Fine food and Issues Decided to visit as the reviews were mainly great. Arrived to find it looked ten minutes after due to be open. They were just opening the door. I went in and quickly used the toilet, not flushed by last person that used it! It's a well laid out, well decorated restaurant. I chose the Escargots as my starter, well cooked with a very small amount of sauce sadly no tongs to hold the shell. They were 6 very nice molluscs. The main was an absolutely sensational tasty seafood salad. Interesting dressing on a generous variety of sea food and nice salad. I had ordered a lime and soda, it transpired they had no lime so someone went out to buy some and could only get lemon, which was ok. When it came to the desert I liked the idea of four of them but ordered the lemon tart. A few minutes later the lady running front of house (I later discovered it was her first day in post!! Returned hugely apologetic telling me sadly they had no lemon tart. I chose the cherry clafouti and a few minutes later the young lady came back devastated to tell me they had none of that either! I eventually had a brownie, which she didn't charge me for. Must confess it didn't excite and the supplied ice cream was quite crystallised as if it had been refrozen. The table next to me were told they had no more Escargot, so clearly they opened with only one portion available. Front of house was good, 2/3 of the food I had was great but clearly someone needs to sort out the kitchen too many problems to give customers confidence of availability. Was it worth the trip? Oh yes but they have some serious organisational issues to resolve."
